I am ashamed of The Church of England.

And the youngest of them is how old?

This week's Faith Focus in @hertsad

@rmbastable Agreed. Tone deaf comms from Lambeth yet again. It smacks of heroic martyrdom which neither the church nor the world needs right now.....

My point which seems to have been misunderstood by many is that there‘a no need to have a crozier laying-down service. To do so is a decision. It’s also a decision to have photographers present and to release the photos on social media and to the press. This is not going quietly.

Another Christmas, another Carols till Closing. It wouldn’t be Christmas without the excellent @RichardFWatson 🎄🍺

Another of the great Christmas nights out with the amazing Fr @RichardFWatson on vocals singing carols and Christmas songs for three hours. Packed pubs in St Albans. 10 nights. Unmissable. Everyone singing. One of the best Christmas nights out in the UK. #carolstilclosing

@MartynPercy Totally delusional. Just crazy.

Is there any public demand for these outlooks? I mean, any? Who in their right mind would support this?

5 fixes for the Church of England. 1. Burn down the machine. 2. Woman archbishop 3. Stop swanning around the world 4. Shrink the big tent 5. Lean into the weird. unherd.com/2024/11/burn-d…

Why has NO other Bishop come out I. Support of Bp Helen Ann Hartley? What -or who - are they afraid of? Whose interests are being served here?

I’m nervous about calls for @JustinWelby to resign. What is needed is not a scalp but a wholesale change of culture in the church. To build a safer church we need an end to deference, secrecy, tribalism, and bullying in the House of Bishops. Most local clergy understand this.

@charliebelllive Not naivite... just an unwillingness to call this out as unacceptable behaviour and such that renders Bishop Tim as unsuitable for office. Shameful papering over the cracks....

What on Earth is going on? 'I hope that people will recognise the background to this event, understand how it has happened, and be ready to welcome Bishop Tim in his new ministry in Wolverhampton.' Astonishing naivite? Or mere contempt? churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2024/…

Very pleased to be a signatory, along with a number of others, of this letter on LLF spearheaded by Together for the Church of England.

Spot on - thank you.

All the usual suspects who know what is going on and normally rule out a general election are silent. This is ominous. Number 10 is packed with the Press getting drenched in a summer down pour.

The fact that we are sinful creatures who fail in manifesting this vision is an impetus to recalling us to this truth and not a denial of it" @AlisonMilbank #onceandfuture

"What will energize traditional Anglicans is a vision of their incorporation in the mystical body, which intensifies and renders theological the life they already understand as being in community.
